Ozil to be included in the team to face Liverpool at Anfield.
It is never easy to predict an Unai Emery line-up. However, in recent games, I have got very close with ten from eleven right. Hopefully, I will get close again.
Some players are a given and one of those is Emiliano MartÃnez between the sticks. The defence more or less will pick itself as well.
Kolasinac will start on the left now that Kieran Tierney has been promoted to the first team. Hector Belelrin is like to start on the right for more game time. Rob Holding and Shkodran Mustafi are almost certain to take the centre half spots.
Midfield is always tricky with Emery, he has so many different permutations that I reckon he gets confused. However, Joe Willock, Lucas Torreira and Emile Smith Rowe look good bets to start. This means Ainsley Maitland-Niles will probably miss out.
Upfront I reckon Emery will go with Mesut Ozil just behind Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
So, this is the line-up I believe Emery is most likely to go with against Liverpool.
Martinez
Kolasinac
Holding
Mustafi
Bellerin
Smith Rowe
Willock
Torreira
Ozil
Saka
Martinelli
Obviously, with Emery, he could easily put out a totally different team. He could play Maitland-Niles with Smith Rowe behind the forwards and leave Ozil on the bench. He could put Chambers at right-back and rest Bellerin and so on.
Regardless, I expect an exciting team to be selected that will give a good account of themselves at Anfield this evening.
